Printable version of this song Transpose this song up or down:
This is my own personal arrangement.  I got it by slightly
simplifying the piano sheet music, and putting it in a better
key (G).  Note that my version also doesn't modulate a half-step
up at the end.  (Do _you_ want to play in A flat?)

The lovers,    the   dreamers,    and   me  [repeat intro]

Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that, and someone believed it
And look what it's done so far

What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing
And what do we think we might see?

| Am7              | D7               | Bm7              | E7               |

| Am7              | D7               |
  mag       -        ic

Have you been half asleep, and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?
The voice might be one and the same

I've heard it too many times to ignore it
It's something that I'm supposed to be

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection

| Am7              | D7sus        D7  | G               | D/F#            |
The lovers,    the   dreamers,    and   me,               la      da  da

| Em               | G/D              | C               | Dsus        D   | G.
